Overview

This guyed tower about 15 km (9.3 mi) from Opelika, AL carries FCC registration 2684353. Its overall height is 130 m (425 ft) above ground, putting the top at 325 m above sea level.

Within its county it ranks 7th out of 99 registered structures by overall height.

American Towers LLC holds the registration. Tower companies like this one lease space on their structures to multiple carriers, so the registered owner does not tell you which networks operate here.

The geometric radio horizon at this height is roughly 47 km (29.1 mi). Treat it as a ceiling rather than a coverage estimate — it assumes flat, clear terrain and ignores power and frequency entirely.

Registration density around this point is 5 other structures within a 5 km radius.

The registration dates from the 2010s, part of the 4,539 structures on file for Alabama.

About this record

A slender mast held upright by tensioned cables anchored around it. The cheapest way to go very tall, which is why most structures above 300 m are guyed.
